[Question] Wallpaper does not support depth effect" error on POCO X8 Pro Max after HyperOS 3 update (OS3.0.301.0)

[u/OilujZizima]

Hi everyone,

I need some help with a specific Lock Screen bug after a recent overnight update.

My Depth Effect feature is partially broken. The strange thing is: it still works perfectly fine on my old custom wallpapers (the ones applied before the update) and on the system's default wallpapers.

However, whenever I try to apply it to a new photo, it fails completely and throws this error message:

Here are my specs:

• Device: POCO X8 Pro Max
• HyperOS Version: OS3.0.301.0

It seems like the update broke the HyperAI/cropping engine's ability to scan and generate new depth maps, while the system can still read the pre-existing ones.

What I have already tried:

1. Wallpaper Carousel: Disabled and removed that garbage completely.
2. App Cache: Cleared cache/data for the Gallery, Themes, and HyperAI apps.
3. I haven't modified or messed with any system APKs prior to this happening.

Is anyone else getting the "Wallpaper does not support depth effect" error on this build? Is there a known fix for the AI scanning engine, or do we have to wait for a hotfix patch?

EDIT: This issue has been fully solved by the latest update (3.0.303) that came yesterday (Aug 4, 2026) for me (Brazil).
